News flash: Wayne Rooney is still quite good at soccer.
Rooney scored a peach of a goal Friday in Manchester United’s FA Cup game against Derby County.
The game was goal-less in the 16th minute when Rooney wrapped his foot around the ball and curled it past goalkeeper Scott Carson into the far side of the goal.
It's level at the break, but this is well worth another watch. Step forward, Wayne Rooney! (@btsportfootball) #mufc https://t.co/qPCc0dRT2A

Rooney is starting to score consistently after spending the first half of the season amid a dry spell. Rooney scored seven goals in 23 games in all competitions in the first half of the season, but he now has scored six goals in seven games since Jan. 1.
3 – Wayne Rooney has now scored in as many away games in 2016 as he did in 2015 (3). Improvement.
